Review: Peter Panzerfaust #6

By | Sep 20, 2012 | Reviews

This book’s rising star is incredible. Six issues in and people are already talking about making it a BBC series? That doesn’t happen to too many comic books, so you know something has been done right. Written by Kurtis J Wiebe Illustrated by Tyler Jenkins “PARIS,” Part One Paris cowers in the shadow of the […]

Review: Demon Knights #0

By | Sep 14, 2012 | Reviews

The Demon is one of those jetsetting DC characters. Etrigan pops up in Vertigo books, DC books and even unexpected places like the DCAU. There is a reason for this, and it might be because Etrigan/Jason Blood have been two of the most notable antiheroes DC comics has. Now with their own (sort of) book […]

Review: Conan the Barbarian # 8

By | Sep 13, 2012 | Reviews

This book has been garnering a ton of praise, and not all of it from contributors for this website. Yes many of us are unabashed Brian Wood fans, but that is because he writes fantastic comics. With preferred partner-in-crime Becky Cloonan by his side, “Conan the Barbarian” has been an epic saga so far. There […]

Review: Stormwatch # 0

By | Sep 7, 2012 | Reviews

In its many iterations, “Stormwatch” has been around since most of us here at Multiversity were young’uns. The book has seen several different lives, starting as a pretty generic teambook in the early ninties, to rocking people’s faces off under the pen of Warren Ellis, then transforming into “The Authority.” A few more iterations occured, […]

By | Sep 6, 2012 | Reviews

Review: Aquaman #12

By | Aug 31, 2012 | Reviews

Content to be an island unto itself, this title can be picked up by someone with no real knowledge of the New 52 DCU or Aquaman and be enjoyed. “Aquaman” has been one of the most consistent books of the New 52, with great art every month and engaging stories. Now at the year mark, […]

Review: American Vampire #30

By | Aug 30, 2012 | Reviews

This week in “American Vampire” the political statements of ‘The Blacklist’ take a backseat to character development. Is that more personal touch what fans claim this book has been missing? Written by Scott Snyder Illustrated by Rafael Albuquerque Hunting vampires is thirsty work, but Skinner and Pearl must control their bloodlust as they cross more […]

Review: Batman Incorporated #3

By | Aug 25, 2012 | Reviews

Finally, the New 52 debut of everyones favorite Bat-Alterego. In order to stop Leviathan, Batman must go undercover as Matches Malone. Like the oil on Matches’ hair, Grant Morrison’s Batman Epic creeps slowly towards a conclusion. This book has had a hard time of it since the New 52 began. Delayed yet again three issues […]

The sprawling tale of noir-horror continues this week. Written by Ed Brubaker Illustrated by Sean Philips BRUBAKER and PHILLIPS best-selling occult noir series continues its second […]

Review: Wonder Woman #12

By | Aug 16, 2012 | Reviews

Arguably one of the best titles of The New 52, “Wonder Woman” has had a strong first year. With many number twelves either transitioning into bigger stories and crossovers or ending entirely, “Wonder Woman” ties off this year long arc spectacularly and then teases the heck out of readers. Written by Brian Azzarello Illustrated by […]

Review: Thor: Unkillable Thunder Christ

By | Aug 10, 2012 | Reviews

Let’s be frank. There is something about the audacity of this title that is either going to make you want to pick it up immediately or consider it blasphemy, but a little voice in the back of the brain is saying that the polarization is probably the point. Afterall, what is the point of art […]

Review: American Vampire: Lord of Nightmares #3

By | Aug 9, 2012 | Reviews

Last month’s installment of “American Vampire: Lord of Nightmares” brought chilling revelations and twist endings that both delivered and delighted. Does this months’ issue continue the trend of cleverly adapting the classic vampire tale of “Dracula” for the “American Vampire” universe? Written by Scott Snyder Illustrated by Dustin Nguyen Felicia and Hobbes are on the […]
